* We now have a page writer that takes some pages from the modified queue
and writes it back every few seconds. It can be triggered by the page
scanner to do that more often, though. That mechanism can be greatly
improved once we have our I/O scheduler working.
* Removed vm_page_write_modified_page() again - it was all "eaten up" by
the page writer.
* Reworked vm_page_write_modified_pages() a bit: it now uses
vm_test_map_modification() and vm_clear_map_flags() instead of the
iterating over all areas which wouldn't even work correctly.
The code is much simpler now, too.
* You usually put something to the tail of a queue, and remove the contents
from the head, not vice versa - changed queue implementation to reflect this.
* Additionally, there is now a enqueue_page_to_head() if you actually want the
opposite.
* vm_page_requeue() allows you to move a page in a queue to the head or tail.
* Replaced vm_clear_map_activation() with vm_clear_map_flags() which allows
you to clear other flags than PAGE_ACCESSED.
* The page scanner dumps now some arguments with each run.
* Removed the old disabled pageout_daemon() from NewOS.

to the private VM types are including vm_types.h now.
* Removed vm_page, vm_area, vm_cache, and vm_address_space typedefs; it's
cleaner this way, and the actual types are only used in C++ files now,
anyway.
* And that caused changes in many files...
* Made commpage.h self-containing.
* Minor cleanup.

introduced a new vm_page_write_modified_page().
* Resolved a TODO: vm_page_write_modified_pages() did not mark a to be
written page busy but unlocked its cache which could let someone else
steal that page in the mean time.
* Moved the logic when to move a page to the active or inactive queue to
a new function move_page_to_active_or_inactive_queue().
* Moved page_state_to_string() to vm_page(); it's now also used by the
"page" and "page_queue" KDL commands.
* Made the output of the "page_queue list" command more useful.

are locked, there is now a vm_page_reserve_pages() call to ensure upfront that
there is a page for me when I need it, and may have locked some caches.
* The vm_soft_fault() routine now makes use of that feature.
* vm_page_allocate_page() now resets the vm_page::usage_count, so that the file
cache does not need to do this in read_chunk_into_cache() and
write_chunk_to_cache().
* In cache_io() however, it need to update the usage_count - and it does that
now. Since non-mapped caches don't have mappings, the page scanner will punish
the cache pages stronger than other pages which is accidently just what we
want.

* Fixed vm_page_allocate_page_run(): it did not take the pageState into account,
and would therefore return uninitialized memory (ie. B_CONTIGUOUS areas would
contain garbage).
Now, it stores if a page is cleared in a new vm_page::is_cleared field.
* Some cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22306 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added a comment to vm_remove_all_page_mappings() that shows that we need to
change the mapping spinlock into a mutex.
* Pointed out some potential problems in the code.
* Added vm_page_at_index(), vm_clear_map_activation(), and vm_test_map_activation()
in preparation of the page scanner rewrite.

* Renamed them, made everything static besides vm_allocate_early() (previous
vm_alloc_from_kernel_args()) which now allows you to specify a different
virtual than physical size, and therefore makes vm_alloc_virtual_from_kernel_args()
superfluous (which isn't exported anymore, and is now called allocate_early_virtual()).
* Enabled printing a stack trace on serial output on team crash - it doesn't hurt
for now, anyway.
* Cleanup.

systems a chance to know if they have locked already.
This fixes a locking problem in BFS where one thread tried to acquire two read
locks (where someone else trying to acquire a write lock would have caused a
dead lock).

now on the amount of memory installed in the system. Ie. if you have only
128 MB the kernel heap will be only half in size.
* Minor cleanup in vm_page.c, renamed some variables to match our style guide.

parts, too. Fixed a potential overflow.
* The generic physical page mapper reserves the virtual address range
for the IO space now, so that noone can interfere until an area has
been created. The location of the IO space is no longer fixed; it
didn't look to me like it was necessary for x86, and we definitely
need to be flexible for PPC.

for temporary memory anymore, it's the store's responsibility to do that
correctly now, and that functionality is reached via the vm_cache using
vm_cache_set_minimal_commitment().
Therefore, the vm_store commit() function now returns a status instead of
the size that could be commited.
Replaced the max_commit mechanism with one that cares about the available
memory, stores can reserve and unreserve such memory. The anonymous_commit()
will now fail in case it could not reserve the needed amount of memory.

- the above file now also exports a function to finally complete the kernel's
address space translation map after semaphores became available (was just
not done before)
- renamed some functions, especially the *_init2() functions are now called
like *_init_post_area() to indicate they are called after the area functionality
became available
- removed the _struct suffix from certain structures
- fixed some return types
- added prototype for vm_free_unused_boot_loader_range() to be called by
arch code.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@9423 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
some broken C++ export definitions, added missing licenses etc.
